Craig, Its not PHP but HTML. I do this for a client. Make a Word document as needed, save it as rtf. Put a link onto my html page calling a particular routine. The routine reads the .rtf file, looking for replaceable parameters, replacing them with the customised values for this customer and saves the file under a new name indicating it is for this customer (still .rtf).
A new page has a link to this new file. When the user clicks it, as their browser has the mime type for .rtf set to MS Word, Word starts up and opens the file. OK, in the application I did this in I used pl/sql (as the database was Oracle and there was no php) but there is no reason why you should not write a php routine to replace the parameters and resave the file.
